Did you power it on?

 

Plastic damage looks superficial so if the 8pin still fits, you should be OK if you didn't power it on / the PSU wasn't powered. If you did, maybe you're OK, but the pinout is different so you might have blown something...

Ja, if you didn;t power on it should be fine (although I don't know how you had the strength to push it in like that....). If you did turn it on, the 4+4 cpu pin layout is sending 12v to everywhere the gpu wouldn't want it....

If it's connected fine, and the little clip on top has clipped I'd say you're all good.
